Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.6.59 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: mpc52xx: Add cancel_work_sync before module remove
If we remove the module which will call mpc52xx_spi_remove
it will free 'ms' through spi_unregister_controller.
while the work ms->work will be used. The sequence of operations
that may lead to a UAF bug.
Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with
the cleanup in mpc52xx_spi_remove.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR again
Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in
node allocations") leads a NULL pointer deference in cache_set_flush().
1721 if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c->root))
1722 list_add(&c->root->list, &c->btree_cache);
>From the above code in cache_set_flush(), if previous registration code
fails before allocating c->root, it is possible c->root is NULL as what
it is initialized. __bch_btree_node_alloc() never returns NULL but
c->root is possible to be NULL at above line 1721.
This patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: check v2_ext_offset/eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt when receiving proposal msg
When receiving proposal msg in server, the fields v2_ext_offset/
eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt in proposal msg are from the remote client
and can not be fully trusted. Especially the field v2_ext_offset,
once exceed the max value, there has the chance to access wrong
address, and crash may happen.
This patch checks the fields v2_ext_offset/eid_cnt/ism_gid_cnt
before using them.

nvme-rdma: unquiesce admin_q before destroy it
Kernel will hang on destroy admin_q while we create ctrl failed, such

This due to we have quiesced admi_q before cancel requests, but forgot
to unquiesce before destroy it, as a result we fail to drain the
pending requests, and hang on blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() forever. Here
try to reuse nvme_rdma_teardown_admin_queue() to fix this issue and
simplify the code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-debug: fix a possible deadlock on radix_lock
radix_lock() shouldn't be held while holding dma_hash_entry[idx].lock
otherwise, there's a possible deadlock scenario when
dma debug API is called holding rq_lock():
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
dma_free_attrs()
check_unmap() add_dma_entry() __schedule() //out
(A) rq_lock()
get_hash_bucket()
(A) dma_entry_hash
check_sync()
(A) radix_lock() (W) dma_entry_hash
dma_entry_free()
(W) radix_lock()
// CPU2's one
(W) rq_lock()
CPU1 situation can happen when it extending radix tree and
it tries to wake up kswapd via wake_all_kswapd().
CPU2 situation can happen while perf_event_task_sched_out()
(i.e. dma sync operation is called while deleting perf_event using
etm and etr tmc which are Arm Coresight hwtracing driver backends).
To remove this possible situation, call dma_entry_free() after
put_hash_bucket() in check_unmap().

net/smc: check smcd_v2_ext_offset when receiving proposal msg
When receiving proposal msg in server, the field smcd_v2_ext_offset in
proposal msg is from the remote client and can not be fully trusted.
Once the value of smcd_v2_ext_offset exceed the max value, there has
the chance to access wrong address, and crash may happen.
This patch checks the value of smcd_v2_ext_offset before using it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Prevent tailcall infinite loop caused by freplace
There is a potential infinite loop issue that can occur when using a
combination of tail calls and freplace.
In an upcoming selftest, the attach target for entry_freplace of
tailcall_freplace.c is subprog_tc of tc_bpf2bpf.c, while the tail call in
entry_freplace leads to entry_tc. This results in an infinite loop:
entry_tc -> subprog_tc -> entry_freplace --tailcall-> entry_tc.
The problem arises because the tail_call_cnt in entry_freplace resets to
zero each time entry_freplace is executed, causing the tail call mechanism
to never terminate, eventually leading to a kernel panic.
To fix this issue, the solution is twofold:
1. Prevent updating a program extended by an freplace program to a
prog_array map.
2. Prevent extending a program that is already part of a prog_array map
with an freplace program.
This ensures that:
* If a program or its subprogram has been extended by an freplace program,
it can no longer be updated to a prog_array map.
* If a program has been added to a prog_array map, neither it nor its
subprograms can be extended by an freplace program.
Moreover, an extension program should not be tailcalled. As such, return
-EINVAL if the program has a type of BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT when adding it to a
prog_array map.
Additionally, fix a minor code style issue by replacing eight spaces with a
tab for proper formatting.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dlm: fix possible lkb_resource null dereference
This patch fixes a possible null pointer dereference when this function is
called from request_lock() as lkb->lkb_resource is not assigned yet,
only after validate_lock_args() by calling attach_lkb(). Another issue
is that a resource name could be a non printable bytearray and we cannot
assume to be ASCII coded.
The log functionality is probably never being hit when DLM is used in
normal way and no debug logging is enabled. The null pointer dereference
can only occur on a new created lkb that does not have the resource
assigned yet, it probably never hits the null pointer dereference but we
should be sure that other changes might not change this behaviour and we
actually can hit the mentioned null pointer dereference.
In this patch we just drop the printout of the resource name, the lkb id
is enough to make a possible connection to a resource name if this
exists.
